Mad Pride Toronto 2012: A Celebration of Madness

Tuesday, July 10 to Sunday, July 15

Mad Pride is an arts, culture, and heritage festival created by psychiatric survivors, consumers, mad people, folks the world has labelled “mentally ill”, and those in solidarity with us.

Mad Pride is about:
remembering and participating in mad history
challenging discrimination
advocating for rights
affirming mad identities
developing and empowering mad communities
having fun!
Our lives and contributions are valuable and need celebration!

All events are free. Festivities include educational talks/panels, theatre, music, art, poetry, comedy, films, craft/vendor sales, information booths, a mad hatter tea party and more.

There will be a Bed Push Parade from 1001 Queen Street West (CAMH) to 1499 Queen Street West (PARC) starting at noon on Saturday, July 14. This parade signifies our escape from asylums back into the community.
